Background: Calvarial defects in NF1 are rare and lack standardized management guidelines. This study seeks to shed light on calvarial defects in NF1 patients with extensive skull erosion.
Methods: This case report focuses on clinical and radiological presentations and surgical interventions during six years of follow-up, comparing the results with those in the literature.

Hard-to-heal wounds represent a global and growing medical and economic burden. Skin autografting is a useful treatment option but is often limited by donor site morbidity, logistical considerations, and grafting success in compromised wound beds. Combining autologous skin cell suspension (ASCS) technology with minced dermal grafts can allow for dermal elements and epithelial healing as well as closed donor sites.

Using a 6-week porcine full-thickness excisional wound grafting model, we evaluated the Autologous Regeneration of Tissue (ART®) System, a novel skin harvesting device designed to collect autologous full-thickness autologous microcolumns (FTAM) at 0.5 mm in diameter. The donor skin sites were harvested using the ART® System and compared to split-thickness skin grafts (STSGs).

Oral cancer often presents in advanced stages, requiring complex surgical interventions. The bipedal pectoralis major myocutaneous (PMMC) flap is a commonly used alternative to the gold standard free flaps for reconstruction in resource-constrained settings. However, large donor sites may necessitate split-thickness skin grafting (STSG), leading to aesthetic challenges.

This investigation delineates the evolution and prospective utilisation of an innovative two-blade dermatome, designed for the concurrent harvesting of a conventional split-thickness skin graft (STSG) and an additional dermal graft within the same surgical harvest. Historically, the extraction of dermal grafts has encountered substantial technical impediments, contributing to its limited acceptance and utilisation in clinical practice. The prototype dermatome, introduced in this technical note, offers a solution that could facilitate the more extensive adoption of dermal grafting techniques.
